Re: gain a random insanity (7 replies, posted in LotFP Gaming Forum)
Personally, I'm not a big fan of insanity systems. I prefer to either tell the GM (when I'm a player) in secret that my character has some kind of mental/personality flaw and roleplay it out, or tell the player (when I'm GM) in secret that their unwise actions have earned them whatever flaw/quirk seems appropriate. My group is more into the roleplay aspects of games than the rules and mechanics though, and we've all agreed over the years that it's more important that something meshes well with the story, than it is to mesh well with the rules.
Also, it's pretty fun (both from the GM perspective AND the player perspective) to watch one person in the party begin to develop phobias/delusions/psychoses they didn't have before, and try to figure out where it came from!

In for $175! This campaign so very much needs to pull a Double Fine!

Well you can go ahead and assume a starting point of $110 then. Cause I'll be grabbing that perk (at least) as soon as the campaign is up!

Topic: Spell record sheet (2 replies, posted in LotFP Gaming Forum)
In the process of building some pre-gen characters for an introductory session, I found myself wanting something classier than an index card to record spell lists on. So I made one. Then I thought some of y'all might like it too.
Clicking here will give you chance to find out!
Kept it A5 size, so it fits in with the rest of your LotFP stuffs. It's also fully form-fillable (except the sigil/holy symbol, and the prepared checkboxes) and saveable, so you can keep em just as electronic as you like. Any OCD must-learn-every-damn-spell Magic Users out there will run out of room, but that's okay, there's still the back of the page.. unless you have some kind of Moebius Strip printer, in which case I WANT ONE!
Anyways, use and abuse it as much, or little, as you like.

Topic: Can anyone recommend a bestiary? (6 replies, posted in LotFP Gaming Forum)
Which resources are people using to get the more generic enemies for their games (goblins, bears, skeletons and the like)? Which ones work best for LotFP? I'm just starting to build a campaign and would like to toss a few of 'the usual suspects' onto my random encounter tables.

Re: Introduce yourself! (218 replies, posted in LotFP Gaming Forum)
My name is Jeff, I'm 31, and I live in British Columbia, Canada (not a lumberjack though, most of the time). I got my introduction to LotFP over the weekend at GottaCon in Victoria, BC. My friend ran a couple games of it at the convention, and despite not actually getting a chance to play (no other players showed up for the sunday morning game slot), I did become the default winner of the table prize (because no other players showed up!), which was a copy of the Hammers of the God adventure. After reading through that adventure, I decided I loved it and have just now ordered the grindhouse boxed set!
I've been an RPG player for at least 2 of my 3 decades, and have played dozens of different systems. Of late, I've been gravitating towards the systems that focus more on having a good time escaping into a story, rather than crunching the best way to dole out massive numbers with my character's stats. (don't get me wrong though, it still makes me feel like a champ when I score a critical hit on the latest dragon/liche/evil cleric/unsuspecting innocent bystander) Luckily, my regular gaming group seems willing to make this transition along with me, so hopefully I can convince them to try out LotFP!
